2 OUTFITS: SUSHI DATE & EXPLORING STREET ART IN MOSTAR CITY

EN Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Today I'll show you two outfits I wore this March. One was more dressed up, the other more casual. The first outfit I wore for a sushi date with my husband in taboo bar (not sponsored) and the second for a stroll exploring street art in Mostar city. I shopped my closet for both of these outfits. Scroll down to see more. 

HR Pozdrav dragi čitatelji i blogeri! Danas ću vam pokazati dvije odjevne kombinacije koje sam nosila ovog ožujka. Jedna je dotjeranija, drugi ležernija. Prvo ruho nosila sam za sushi spoj sa suprugom, a drugo za šetnju gradom Mostarom i istraživanje ulične umjetnosti. Za obje kombinacije nosila sam odjevne predmete koje već dugo vremena imam u ormaru. Nastavite čitati kako biste više vidjeli.

SUSHI DATE STYLING- CHERRY PRINT DRESS PAIRED WITH AN OLIVE BLAZER

I paired my cherry print dress (five ways to style it here) with stiletto heels (last worn here) and an olive blazer (worn here). It was a warm day, but I still layered two types of tights, wearing the burgundy ones under the leopard fishnets. I like wearing these two pairs together (see here for another example).  

HR Svoju haljinu s uzorkom trešnje (pet načina kako je nositi, poveznica u tekstu na engleskom) nosila sam sa štiklama (poveznica gore) i blazerom maslinaste boje (poveznica gore). Bio je topao dan, ali svejedno sam nosila dvije vrste hulahopki, tamnocrvene ispod leopardovih mrežnih. Volim nositi ova dva para zajedno (poveznica gore).

I felt quite stylish wearing this outfit. I will admit that these stilettoes aren't the most comfortable shoe option out there, but they are alright when it comes to walking. I find walking in them easier then  standing in them. I don't find walking in stilettoes difficult as such, but I prefer a more sturdy heel most of the time. Thick heels, wedges and platforms are my typical choices.. Stilettoes look elegant, but they are anything but practical, especially if you live somewhere where pavements leave much to be desired. I'm a walker and I've never been one of those people who take the car everywhere. Therefore, I rarely invest in stilettoes. I do have a lot of heeled shoes, boots, sandals and mules but the heel is always a thick one. 

HR Osjećala sam se prilično elegantno noseći ovu kombinaciju. Priznat ću da ove cipele s viskokim petom nisu najudobnija opcija, ali u redu su kada je u pitanju hodanje. Zapravo je hodanje u njima lakše nego stajanje. Nije mi teško hodanje u štiklama kao takvo, ali većinu vremena preferiram čvršću petu. Debele potpetice, puna peta i platforme moj su tipični izbor. Cipele s tankom potpeticom izgledaju elegantno, ali sve su samo ne praktične, pogotovo ako živite negdje gdje pločnici nisu u dobrom stanju. Ja sam šetačica i nikada nisam bila od onih ljudi koji svugdje idu autom. Stoga rijetko ulažem u ovakve cipele. Imam puno cipela na petu, čizama, sandala, ali peta na njima je uvijek debela.

A COMFY OUTFIT FOR EXPLORING STREET STYLE ART IN MOSTAR  CITY 

The outfit I wore to explore street art I'm sharing is a comfortable one. Once again, I shopped my closet and I will link up the items to prove it. I wore my trusted caramel heeled boots (plus 30 ways to wear them HERE), a pair of jeans (here), a beige coat (here) and a crossover bag (here).

One of the things I love about Mostar is street art. There is a street art festival held annually, so there are always new murals to admire. Today I will show you three gorgeous murals painted on buildings. Moreover, you can see my previous posts about street art in Mostar here,  here , here , here and here. 

HR Odjevna kombinacija koju sam nosila za istraživanje ulične umjetnosti je udobna. Još jednom sam nosila odjevne komade koje imam i dodati ću poveznice kako bi to dokazala. Nosila sam svoje udobne karamel čizme, par traperica, bež kaput i torbu (poveznice kako sam ih prije nosila možete pronaći u engleskom dijelu teksta).

 Jedna od stvari koje volim o Mostaru je ulična umjetnost. Svake godine se održava festival ulične umjetnosti, tako da uvijek ima novih murala kojima se možemo diviti. Danas ću vam pokazati tri prekrasna murala naslikana na zgradama. Osim toga, možete vidjeti i moje prijašnje objave o uličnoj umjetnosti u Mostaru  u engleskom dijelu teksta (poveznice su u zagradama). 

Thank you for reading and visiting. Have a lovely day ahead!

    Wow, those murals are amazing! Thank you for sharing them, Ivana! I love your layered tights in the first outfit - i did that ages ago in the early days of my blog, but I should really think about doing it again these days, as it looks so good. I can't do stilettoes anymore, sadly - I am worried that I'll get a stress fracture on the top of my feet. I love to walk as well, so I've collected a bunch of fun flat/low-heeled shoes/boots for that purpose. Whenever you see me in heels in an outfit, I'm carrying my shoes in a separate bag and wearing comfy shoes for walking!

    Mostar is a beautiful city! Croats from your city are very proud, brave and people with hearts! These huge murals make it even more beautiful :) A city created for life. I want you to enjoy yourself with your husband! Your article is a great promotion ... All the best Ivana :)

    Those murals are incredible, I'd love to see those in real life!
    Your dress looks lovely and I hope you enjoyed your trip out.
    I've never been a fan of stilettoes, I favour chunky footwear with laces or buckles that I can walk in as I don't drive. xxx

      Stilettoes are probably the least practical shoe option out there.

    Love both your outfits. Like you, I find it easier to walk in high heels than stand in them. Also, a block heel is much better than stilettos too, so most of my shoes/boots have thicker heels too.

    Those murals are stunning. What a wonderful way to bring colour to the city's streets. Your very outfit is very chic and perfect for a sushi date with your hubby. I haven't worn stilettos since my early twenties - I think - and lately I have to be very selective with the height of my footwear. I can still do wedges or chunky heels, as long as they are not too high. The joys of getting older :-( xxx

    Hi Ivana,
    I am happy to know that you could have a normal life with this pandemic, here the restaurants are still closed !! Anyway, I couldn’t eat sushi either, my health problem doesn’t allow it! I loved the murals, the buildings are much more beautiful! As for your looks, you look wonderful and very elegant in your first look and very comfortable in the second!
    Happy Easter!

    I adore you Ivana. I've layered tights in the past and think it's a great way for adding color under fishnets along with staying warm!!
    What a fun exploring trip!! I'm so glad you got out and about.

    Great outfits. I love going for Sushi and so much choice in Scotland. I miss that as we have been in lockdown since 26th Dec. We are hoping places will be open at the end of April!

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever
